Re: Have ROH/CHIKARA Allied in Some Form?

I think it's just a case of putting over the opposition so that, when the Briscoe probably overcome Jig and Wicked, that ROH looks good by having their tag team champions beat said stalwarts of Chikara. Basically, it's just putting over Chikara so that any newcomers to ROH don't look at the two masked wrestlers and think to themselves "These masked freaks ain't nuthin' compared to Dem Boys," or something like that. Right now ROH probably has much more exposure to many more wrestling fans than they have before thanks to Sinclair Broadcasting, but the last thing they want to do is even suggest disenfranchising Chikara fans by not treating Chikara like a fairly big deal.

I, personally, would LOVE to see some cross-promotion between the two companies...maybe even a Chikara vs ROH cibernetico. Not only does it give a bit of variety to ROH that they quite frankly lack, but it boosts Chikara's profile as not just any other indy.

...Or it could be that Quack wants them to promote the hell out of Chikara because he's secretly a prick, but that's neither here nor there.

Re: Have ROH/CHIKARA Allied in Some Form?

Do you remember how much ROH put over CHIKARA when the CHIKARA guys first started to come in around 2007?

I wouldn't be surprised if they're unofficially trying to help each other out. In the last few years, CHIKARA has really broke out as a major player in the indies. Meanwhile, ROH have separated themselves from the rest of the indy world. You no longer have the ROH/FIP relationship. ROH and Gabe's promotions were at odds. The NOAH and Dragon Gate guys have stopped coming in. ROH could really benefit from having another relationship with a fellow company again. Let's face it, there's a reason why the ROH/CZW feud is looked back on so fondly. It wouldn't have worked as well if the CZW guys were just random ROH wrestlers now in a faction.
